Infinite Invariant Density Determines Statistics of Time Averages for Weak Chaos

Weakly chaotic non-linear maps with marginal fixed points have an infinite invariant measure. Time averages of integrable and non-integrable observables remain random even in the long time limit. Temporal averages of integrable observables are described by the Aaronson-Darling-Kac theorem. We find the distribution of time averages of non-integrable observables, for example the time average position of the particle. We show how this distribution is related to the infinite invariant density. We establish four identities between amplitude ratios controlling the statistics of the problem.
